2nd September 2011.
We were looking for traditional unspoilt Spain and found it in Pollenca.
Little old ladies wearing button up aprons swilling their steps first thing in the morning before going to the local traditional shop for a chat and to buy the days food provisions. Old world charm!
Hotel Son Sant Jordi is not posh or plush nor is it spotlessly clean, the breakfast isn’t that great either. The bar/restaurant is not owned by the family who own the Hotel and is unreliable with regard to opening times and hours. The food in the restaurant is the kind of food I would ordinarily go out of my way to avoid, but it is ok if you wish to have a poolside snack (the Sangria is very good). However Hotel Son Sant Jordi has beautiful gardens, the pool is spotless, the sun room complete with shower, chill out sofas and kitchen -which is ideal if you prefer to prepare a lunch time snack for yourself – or you wish to read a book in a cool outdoor room.
We were fortunate enough to be allocated a room in the building at the rear of the hotel which most people seem to be objecting to, but it suited us as we felt it was more private than the main hotel, This building has two separate rooms, if you are lucky enough to be in this building there is a private lounge with typical fire place and seating area, a kitchen, as well as an indoor and outdoor dining area we had our own very private balcony overlooking a lush courtyard garden, It was not a concrete building, but a very typical village house.
I would recommend the hotels private transfer (45euro each way)
I would also recommend hiring a car if and when from the hotel (15euro per day)
The family who own the hotel are friendly and welcoming, at hand if required.
I also think the ambience/atmosphere of this hotel is dependant up on the guests.
The hotel is in a quiet central location with many shops, restaurants and places of interest within easy walking distance.
Hotel Son Sant Jordi is the perfect place to:
CHILL OUT
ESCAPE
RELAX
COLLECT YOUR THOUGHTS
REFLECT
CONVERLESS
We will return. I love this retreat.
